Red Cross Headquarters and the Van Nuys Airport received a boost Friday from 25 volunteers from the Greek system as students helped out in the earthquake relief effort.
Matt Payne, the vice president of philanthropy for the Interfraternity Council, headed the group that went to the Red Cross Headquarters on Feb. 4. Even though the Red Cross found it difficult to place that many untrained people, Payne said, they were put to work answering calls on the Red Cross' hotline. Payne said that he was surprised at the number of calls that came in, despite the fact that the earthquake happened over two weeks ago.
The phone calls ranged from people now without jobs looking for rent assistance to those looking for temporary food and shelter.
The volunteers then tried to refer people to a service, company or another hotline related to the specific problem. Each volunteer had an extensive list of helpful phone numbers.
The volunteers also directed people willing to volunteer goods or services to those in need.
Payne said that while working the hotline, he found a message from earlier in the week that said an elementary school class wanted to make valentines for children that are victims of the earthquake. Payne called and found an elementary school in Northridge that would gladly accept the valentines.
"Working that day and helping out that elementary school in Northridge gave me a feeling that 1 was doing something to help," Payne said.
Jen Young, philanthropy chairwoman for Panhellenic, headed a volunteer group who also answered phones at the Van Nuys Airport.
Unlike the the hotline volunteers, the Van Nuys volunteers spent time calming and comforting people, rather than referring them to different services.
"The Van Nuys warehouse was just amazing. There were 25 trucks being loaded with food to be distributed to the needy," Young said. "It was amazing to learn that over 60,000 meals are distributed in a day. The volume of stuff that goes through here is just amazing."
The whole idea of a Greek Volunteer Project was brought about by Payne and Young.
"We had noticed that a lot of the houses have been having

more trouble donating money to worthy causes (than they used to)," Payne said. "So we thought maybe it would be easier for each house to give time and volunteers rather than money.
"It also seemed like an ideal way to get the whole Greek system together in a big service-orientated project. This turned out to be a lot easier to do and the community will probably gain
more benefit from our time and effort rather than our money," he said.
The volunteer turn-out was good, especially with such short notice, Payne and Young said. Almost every house had at least one person come and volunteer their time on Friday, they said.
Those interested in helping the earthquake relief effort can call the Red Cross Hotline at (213) 739-4543.

Victim’s parents speak on Montreal Massacre

Yesterday at noon, Suzanne Laplante-Edward and her husband Jim spoke with about 45 students, faculty and staff about the Dec. 6, 1989, massacre of 14 women at the University of Montreal. Their daughter, Anne-Marie, was a victim of the attack.
"After the incident, a lot of focus was given by the press to the young man, while the victims were only referred to as 'the 14 women.' No one ever found out who they had been or what they had done. It's very important that we remember the names of the victims, not just the criminal," Jim Edward said.
The massacre occurred at the engineering building of the University of Montreal on the day before semester exams began, Laplante-Edward said. A young man entered the building, proceeded to the second floor where he shot the female employee on duty, and headed for a classroom.
''Now, you have to understand that Canada is very different from the United States in that it is a very law-and-order orientated sociey. Incidents like this happen on TV or in the news. They simply don't hap-
pen in real life. So when the man walked into the room waving a gun, the kids initially thought it was just an end-of-the-semester prank. Then he began shooting at the ceiling, at which point many students started to get scared," Laplante-Edward said.
"Once he got in the classroom, the man separated the men from the women,” she said. "The man sent the men out of the room and began to shout 'You're a bunch of feminists and feminists have ruined my life,' as he opened fire on the students."
He then went to the main cafeteria, where he shot three more students, including Anne-Marie. Twenty-seven students were shot and 14 died.
"Authorities later found that the man was from a violent home and he had tried to apply to enter the University of Montreal, but was turned down because of grades. He turned his rejection into the fault of women, saying they had taken his place in the school," Laplante-Edward said.
Laplante-Edward came to USC after seeing an article in the Montreal Gazette that mentioned Elizabeth Davenport, women's (See Laplante, page 3)
